Plastic - they are not rubber - I have "faux-wood" floors in my rental. Good luck

The wheels are soft. The chart provided by Amazon is incorrect. This model uses the exact same wheels used on the MC-CG917 and MC-CG902. Same part number. I use this machine on polished hardwood floors and the wheels do not mar the finish or leave any scratches.

The little swivel wheel in front feels like rubber. The two large rear wheels are plastic, but not really hard plastic. They have a little give to them.

purchased Genuine Electrolux bags - Style C through Amazon. My sweeper is over 20 years old but the bags seal very well. The seal feels like a very thin rubber to me. Very happy with them. Hope this helps.

I just took a look at the bottom. I don't see anything that would scratch hardwood floors. It has the two main wheels in the back and two small rollers under the vacuum head. Both of these are medium to firm rubber. Should be good to go.Jim

The XV-21 cleans hard floors and carpet equally well. The traction wheels automatically adjust to go from hard wood to tile to carpet without any interaction from you. It will even go over thresholds that you often find where carpet meets a hard surface.

The wheels are neither hard plastic or softer rubber. They are a dense squeezable foam composition. For being foam they work great on our laminate floors and I love the fact they won't cause any scratches.

The wheels are inflatable and made of rubber. I've used this on hardwood floors with very heavy loads and did no damage to the floors. I've also used it outside to move heavy loads over grass, curbs, rocks, etc and it has worked very well. Hope this is helpful feedback for you.

Hi, the wheels are plastic, but the tires are rubber. Not filled with air, but still pliable rubber. It is great for the street, but would be a rough ride on trail. It is very well made and our cat loves it!

My floors are carpet, tile and vinyl but I doubt the wheels will scratch wood floors; they roll very smoothly. We bought one for our fifth wheel and liked it so much we bought a second one for home. It is a little difficult to run on a carpet but still does a nice job even with doggy hair. On the other flooring it is efficient, easy to use and very convenient; much more so than dragging out the heavy, large vacuum.

Mine has three spoke wheels made of hard plastic and they are very sturdy. I sit on my walker a lot and have not had any issues. Also, I've personally not experienced any sliding on hard floors.

Jeremiah, I just went out to the garage to look. The wheels are plastic with pneumatic tires. We have been very satisfied with the durability. I just checked my order history to see when we purchased it. I was surprised that we bought it in April 2011. My now seven year old son has used (abused) it almost daily and it has held up very well. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Dave

I have two...the one I bought in the store came with a hard floor brush. The one I got from the internet did not. But...you can go to a vac store and they have bins with brushes to choose from. They just slip on.

It doesn't have rubber feet, but it does have plastic rollers. It has not scratched my engineered floors.

This one is a poly wheel. Let me know ifyou are still looking a softer wheel. Poly will not mark the floors. Soft black rubber will. thanks

I found this vacuum to be a little hard to handle, the hose keeps getting on my way, it heavy plus it's not very good using it on carpet, I ended up buying a tool for hardwood floors and that its it's in use, hope it helps!

The wheels are made of hard plastic covered with some sort of rubber. They are very sturdy and compatible with any surface in my home. Rolls easily on carpet, tile and hardwood. The only thing I am very disappointed with is the brackets that hold up the bar which broke after about six months of use. I asked about replacements and never got an answer.

There is an attachment called the "brush bar" that comes with the DC39 animal canister. It is designed to be used on both carpeting and hard surface floors. For carpets use the attachment with the rotating brush (build in) on. For hard surface floors leave rotating brush turned off. Might be a question of some scuffing/scratching on hard surfaces but I haven't noticed it yet. Still marveling over the job it does with cat and dog hair in carpets. Haven't investigated subject but I'm sure Dyson offers other hard surface attachments if "brush bar" poses a problem on your hard surfaces. Mike A
